Live Linux on USB drives

[Steve]

Hi,

I'm considering purchasing a cheap USB drive (512MB) for running a
live distro such as CPX-Mini
(http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~bading/cpx-mini/). Will ANY BRAND
of USB work? Also can it be either USB 1.1 or 2.0?

I have an Asus A7N8X-X board, so I under the impression that it SHOULD
be able boot from USB as long as my BIOS boot setting has "Other Boot
Device" enabled (or something like that, I can't remember how it's
worded).

Thanks for any help!

-Steve.
